Yes I went through treatment earlier this year. 7 weeks of Cisplatin and 35 rounds of radiation. It’s not fun but you’ll get through it. Biggest lingering symptom is fatigue.

He has already had kemo, and radiation, and now he has taken a turn for the worst. He is starting to give up . He is tired of being and hurting. I don't want him to give up , but I truly understand how he feels and it's killing me to just watch him suffer.

He had 35 rounds of radiation with Dr. Travis Thompson in Corpus Christi Texas
